Without regard to what should or should not be taught in high school, do you limit science to what is affordable?

No, just science that's worth taking seriously.

I never knew science was defined by cost. And what about falsification? You don't require that?

Where did I suggest that?

I really was expecting something better coming from someone with your knowledge and education. Your definition is at once so wide as to allow almost anything you want and so narrow as to eliminate nearly anything you want.

Lay off the insults if you actually want an answer.

"[affordability is a criteria of] science that's worth taking seriously."

Well, my tests should be affordable anyway. When the technology exists, we could have this debate by exchanging recipes for our desktop manufacturing unit available from the nearest retail outlet drive thru.

"Lay off the insults if you actually want an answer."

It is not personal. I am critiquing what appeared to be your criteria of science. So, what about falsification? You left that out, and included affordability.
